Question

For the first 2 home football games, the concession stand sold a total of 70 hamburgers. How many hamburgers can they expect to sell for all 11 games? Round to the nearest hamburger.

Answer 1

385 hamburgers.

Explanation:

So the data they have given us is that there have been 2 home games, with 70 hamburgers sold. If we divide the number of hamburgers sold by the number of games (70/2), we come up with the average hamburgers sold per game, which is 35. We can use an equation to find the amount of hamburgers sold for every x amount of games.
`h = 35x`, with x being the amount of games, and h being the total amount of hamburgers. If you plug in 11 for x, you will get 385.
